This drawing workshop allows us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in drawing from the human form, working with music based on the 5 Rhythms of Gabrielle Roth where energy moves in waves, waves move in patterns, and so patterns move in rhythms. This workshop is inspired by the teachings of Cecil Collins, British visionary painter where intuition and empathy for the human form are given space to emerge onto the paper.
We use a variety of tools such as feathers, stones, long sticks, sponges, fingers, brushes, inks, clay wash, charcoal and chalks, alongside a roll of lining wallpaper, all of which will be provided. More rolls may be purchased on the day if needed.
 
Fran Quinlan is a visual artist whose work encompasses drawing, print, performance, sculpture, and installation. Fran has an intensely embodied process-driven drawing practice, with a quiet ritualised character, exploring materiality and the transformative quality of paper; its visual and actual weight.
Meditative drawing processes are elemental to Fran for remaining grounded with stillness and time within the realm of perpetual motion.
